Choosing The Right Solution

Flexible PCBs are used in a variety of different applications such as portable electronics, devices, hard dish drives and desktop printers

Rigid PCBs are designed for applications that have complicated circuit layouts or need many electric components mounted. This type of PCB offers high durability, reliability and a long life cycle, which is why they are often used in LEDs, as well as automotive, medical, HVAC, fitness equipment and industrial applications.

PCB Types and Applications

Designs to support thru hole and surface mount. Normally used in automotive industry.

Mixed technology circuitry supporting SMT and thru hole.

Typically use thermal dielectric materials bonded to an aluminum core for highly efficient dissipation of heat to cool components and increase the overall performance of products. LED PCBs are the most common usage.

Up to 64 layer PCBs for High speed advanced designs.

High Density Interconnect using laser drilled microvias up to 4-N-4.

Larger and thicker than normal PCBs often with press fit connectors. Used in Telecommunications as backbone interconnections.

Usually made using polymide (Kapton) materials, these are single, double and multilayer(upto8 layers) PCB.

Rigid PCBs with bend areas milled down to make it very thin. They are meant to be bent on installation and not flex afterwards. A much cheaper alternative to PI flex and rigid flex.

Hybrid of Rigid and flex PCBs. The rigid portions are connected by flex imbedded in the inner layers. Although more expensive than rigid PCBs connected by flexible cables, connectors and discrete wiring, they have higher reliability connections.

Rigid PCBs, uses upto 12oz copper layers. Typically used in high power transmission applications.

Aluminium PCBs and embedded copper layers for highly efficient dissipation of heat to cool components and increase the overall performance of devices.

Applications that typically require laminates with specialized electrical, thermal, mechanical, or other performance characteristics that exceed those of traditional standard FR-4. Used for signals that are 5 GHz and higher. Typically using PTFE (Teflon) materials.

PCB Surface and Finishes

Immersion Silver is a good alternative to Electroless Nickel/ Immersion Gold (ENIG) for fine pitch applications due to the lower cost.  This finish is becoming a standard in the industry and works well in lead-free processing.  Surface preparation is available in polish or etch, it is important to note that polish should be used for micro technology and etch for all others. NOTE: This finish is not backwards compatible with leaded processing and should NOT be selected for applications which will switch between leaded and lead-free.

ENIG is a long proven industry standard and is readily available from most PCB fabricators.  This finish is suitable for almost any lead-free application regardless of complexity; however is the highest cost finish.  This finish is backwards compatible with both leaded and lead-free processing.

OSP is one of the PCB surface finishes, means Organic Solderability Preservatives, which is applied upon the bare copper to prevent PCB from being oxidized. OSP is RoHS compliant and can be quickly removed in the PCB assembly processing.

Immersion tin is a lead-free surface finish, which is excellent for small components. It is very thin and flat; it is perfect for Fine Pitch Technology (FTP).

Hot air solder leveling (HASL) is a widely used PCB surface finish. It is inexpensive and easily available. It also offers a high solderability finish, making it a dominant player in the market for several years. Due to the RoHS directive, there is a major transition from HASL to lead-free HASL.

Soft gold PCB surface finish that is very well suited to wire bonding operations. The soft gold used in this process can easily form strong metallic bonds with standard copper traces and wires. The strong bond of gold and copper allows for more conductive connections when leads are soldered to the board during the PCB Assembly Process.

ENEPIG is the best surface finish that resists corrosion and reaction with air. It has a longer shelf life, which makes it the best of all.

Plated Gold surface finish is also known as Hard Gold surface finish. It’s an expensive surface finish that uses a layer of gold on the PCB. It’s done through electroplating, and a hard layer of gold is attached to the surface of the copper. The adhesion between the PCB and the layer is firm, which increases the durability of the board.

Soft gold PCB surface finish that is very well suited to wire bonding operations. The soft gold used in this process can easily form strong metallic bonds with standard copper traces and wires.

Pre-production Engineering

Design for Fabrication (DFF) is intended to help review customers’ designs with respect to PCB manufacturability as early in the design cycle as possible.

Electrical diagram of the PCB Board.

Design for Manufacturing to improve yields in the assembly process.

Increase the density by using smaller components to reduce overall size of the PCB

Controlling the time it takes for signals to get from one point to another by controlling line with and distance to a copper plane layer.
